and injury to persons, including the following:
•
•
•
•
Do not cover or obstruct top and bottom air vents of the heater.
Read all instructions before using this heater.
This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces.
Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains
at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
•
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or handicapped persons.
• This heater is equipped with a grounded type plug (see illustration)
and must be pluged into a grounded type outlet as shown.
This is a safety feature: DO NOT REPLACE THIS PLUG!
•
•
•
Always inspect power cord, and do not operate heater with a damaged cord or plug.
DO NOT OPEN HEATER. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Do not use the heater if the cord or plug is damaged, or if the heater has malfunctioned,
or if it has been damaged or dropped in any way. In such a case, return the heater to an
authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
•
•
•
•
Do not use outdoors – for indoor use only.
This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, wet areas or similar indoors areas.
Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water containers.
Do not run the heater cord under carpeting, or otherwise cover the cord.
Make sure the cord is out of the way so that it does not pose a risk of tripping.
•
•
Turn off heater before unplugging from the electrical outlet.
Do not insert objects through the air vents of the heater as this may cause an electric shock or fire.
To prevent fire do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
•
•
•
A heater has hot and arcing parts inside. Never use the heater in the vicinity where paint thinners, gasoline, paint or
other flammable liquids are used or stored.
Use this heater only as described in this manual.
Any other use may cause injury to persons, or property damage, or electric shock.
Avoid using an extension cord to power the heater because the extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire.
However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord shall be of a No. 14 AWG minimum size, and should be rated no
less than 1875 watts.
•
•
This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that
is already being used to power other appliances.
While it is normal for the heater’s plug to feel warm to the touch, a loose fit between the plug and the electrical outlet
may cause overheating and warping of the plug. If the outlet is loose, contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or
worn outlets.
•
•
Do not allow water to splash on the heater. If the heater appears to be damp, discontinue its use immediately.
The output of this heater may vary and its temperature may become intense enough to burn exposed skin.
Use of this heater is not recommended for persons with reduced sensitivity to heat or inability to react to avoid burns.
•
•
•
Service of the heater other than cleaning should be performed by an authorized service center.
No user serviceable parts inside. Only authorized service personnel shall handle repair work.
The appliance has an internal over-temperature safety device, which automatically switches the heater off, if an
over-heat situation is detected. Manually reset the unit once the heater cools off.
When the unit cools off, if you notice the safety device still switches off the heater, unplug the unit, wait 30 seconds to
a minute, and plug in again. This will trigger the unit and it will switch on.
